How does it press the car down? This looks like these pictures explaining why wings get lifted up.

It's similar to airplane. 3rd Newton law, wind "slides"up thus pushing the car down

See how all the smoke trails are higher after they have passed the car? The car pushing the air up results in the air pushing the car down, as per Newtons third law.
I don't get it.
Here just as in the car pic the air above gets stretched.
The car should be going up.

Yeah forget the whole longer path theory, it's bullshit and leads to misconceptions like the one you're having right now.

Are you saying a wing's shape forces "more" air to slide underneath?
>>8567735
They sit more densely together.
>>8567757
In a higher position yes. So the lower smoke trails were pushed up, pushing the car down.

google 'downforce'

Have a diagram from /f1/.

Engines blowing up helpfully add smoke to show the aerodynamics, especially of the rear wing. Look how high the exhaust is pushed into the air by the rear wing
